Week In Gaming
Gwaerendes
- The Hobbit Lawnmower (Champion) made it all the way through Moria, to Lothlorien, and now has to explain herself re: Mazog. She also helped me power through the Rewards track in time, but I cannot decide who gets the Skeleton Horse.
- The new area is beautiful! (great job, Scenario) I helped out the wiki finding some information and sending it to Elda and had a great time wandering around. I also have a level 18 Dwarf Captain that is ready to head to Cardolan.
- Grrlz of Middle-earth went about in the Shire with bears. Can I get a saddle? For the bear?
- ESO: Spent some time levelling my Argonian healer’s scrying and excavation skills to complete the weekly. And managed to stay alive in a Harrowstorm, doing the Dark Heart of Skyrim on my main.
Sanswinda
- Played hide and seek and quested in the Shire with my new hobbit Lore Master on Grrlz.
- Started a Scorched Earth world in ARK with Cyndars and made enough adobe for a tiny house.
- Played some Pokemon Violet and Scarlet with Cyndars and my nephew.
Pineleaf
- My Landroval warden attempted to save Caras Gelebren from Doom. This included a pair of 6-player runs for Friday Night Fights.
- Create a new lore-master and ran several quests in Mossward.
- Created a new runekeeper and finished Mossward and about half of Cardolan

Feralir Writes
Hello faithful Lotro Players podcasters! Enjoy your show, been listening to it for several years.
It actually motivated me to return to the game and level my loremaster up to 140. Now that I’m at the end game and I and my bear are having fun destroying things with lightning, I have questions I’m hoping you can answer:
What are the best ways to level up the rewards track? Is it just XP? So do VIP players level it faster, because of their XP boosts? And does that mean it’s better to run a low-level player or a high-level player to get reward track XP? I’m only 10 levels away from that painted pony…
And my second question has to do with the new legendary item system. I have reforged my weapon and got all the traceries up to their max of 480, but each tracery says its enhancement limit is 499, not 480. How do I get it so the traceries will go past 480? I’ve got the runes I need to go above, but the traceries won’t take them. The forge master just shrugs and tells me to go away, so it isn’t a reforging thing. Hope you can help!
And a third question, is there anything end game to spend all those skirmish medallions on? As a fellow Skirmisher of Middle Earth, I’m drowning in the things, and I visited the vendors at the Bree gates and couldn’t find anything past level 100 to spend them on. Suggestions? Maybe there will be things to spend them on after the expansion hits?
Feralir,
Loremaster and listener friend
